GATE DA 2025 — Question 60

Numerical answer 2 marks GATE DA — Data Science & AI 2025

Let \(D = \{x^{(1)}, \dots, x^{(n)}\}\) be a dataset of \(n\) observations where each \(x^{(i)} \in \mathbb{R}^{100}\). It is given that \(\sum_{i=1}^{n} x^{(i)} = 0\). The covariance matrix computed from \(D\) has eigenvalues \(\lambda_i = 100^{\,2-i}\), \(1 \le i \le 100\). Let \(u \in \mathbb{R}^{100}\) be the direction of maximum variance with…

Consider designing a linear classifier\(y = \mathrm{sign}\big(f(x, w, b)\big), \qquad f(x, w, b) = w^{T} x + b\)on a dataset \(D = \{(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), \dots, (x_N, y_N)\}\), with \(x_i \in \mathbb{R}^{d}\), \(y_i \in \{+1, -1\}\), \(i = 1, 2, \dots, N\). Recall that the sign function outputs \(+1\) if the argument is positive, and \(-1\) if the argument is non-positive. The parameters \(w\) and \(b\) are updated as per the following training algorithm:\(w_{\mathrm{new}} = w_{\mathrm{old}} + y_n x_n, \qquad b_{\mathrm{new}} = b_{\mathrm{old}} + y_n\)whenever \(\mathrm{sign}\big(f(x_n, w_{\mathrm{old}}, b_{\mathrm{old}})\big) \neq y_n\). In…
